Statists’ travelling circus
We had some election leaflets through our letter-box yesterday. Unfortunately, they were all a bit dull. Our local Respect candidate has no slogan of the quality of Salma Yaqoob’s in Birmingham. ‘No rats. No Rubbish’, carefully illustrated with a picture of a rat and some rubbish to demonstrate that this isn’t a hidden attack on the Labour cabinet.
UKIP, meanwhile, are pushing the crypto-fascist line nicely. Anti-immigrant paranoia? Yep. Pro-small business propoganda? Yep. And how about:
> [Europe] is threatened not only by mass unemployment in the euro-zone, but also by creeping
> integration towards a totalitarian superstate. This is being done by stealth, because once the
> people of the member states realize that their own politicians are betraying them, there is
> likely to be a mass revolt.
I must say, I hadn’t expected the ’stabbed in the back’ meme to make an appearence in this election. Still, their leaflet does tell us that the local candidate is an amateur mycologist, so I suppose it’s not all bad.
